You can win!

Phil Lister5 Comments

I feel I need a boost

If I wish to raise the roof

The next step is before me

I hold my own liberty

I am strong, courageous

Life is tough, laborious

I defy, nothing will stand in my way

Different and proud, there is always another way

Have faith, make your own fate

Believe in you, make mistakes

Learn, grow, flourish like a flower

This is for you, it’s your hour

Never has it mattered more to make your decision today

Life is yours to make it, you align the way

Positivity is your tool

Use it, break the walls

Scream, make noise, shout

That’s it, let it all out

Beat that negativity into the ground

Until you can’t hear it make a sound

Breathe that air, take it all in

Go for it, you can win!

Tormented Dad

Phil Lister1 Comment

I’m sick of being nice

I’ve taken so much crap

My rage has been building up

I’m gonna use a bat!

.

Bad luck follows me about

Followed by it wasn’t meant to be

Doors just close on my face

This Shit always happens to me!

.

Rejection, bollocks,

I’ve had enough

I’m Fucking good

But can’t get any luck

.

Weekends working,

This has got to change

My kids do not deserve this

I’m going deranged!

.

Abused outside the court room

Keep my calm

Oh how I would of liked

To of caused harm

.

But nice old me

Said nothing like I do

And got walked over

Like a trampled poo

.

Could of been nasty

Stuck in the knife

That is luckily not me

Affecting someone else’s life

.

I thought two steps ahead

Of the knock on effect

Overall who would suffer

From my move to dissect

.

As I believe

It is not for me to say

I know that life will present

All her nasty ways

.

And although maybe I’m bitter

My hatred so strong

I’ve always tried

Just to get along

.

For the sake of our boy

Who deserves none of this

For all your selfish actions

Even when you take the piss

.

I will be civil

Even though I can’t stand you

Your bullshit will show finally

And your transparency will shine through

We cannot go back

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

I’m a great believer in karma

As you may already know

I believe what goes around comes around

That’s the way it goes

.

I’ve had some proper shitty weeks

It’s been all getting so much

Then my car broke down

Turned out to be the clutch

.

I had had enough

I cried like a child

My dog comforted me

It lasted a while

.

I been asking myself

Is it cause I don’t believe?

I try to be selfless

And the occasional good deed

.

First stress this week over now

My dog has gone to a good home

She has companions

And lots of space to roam

.

I’m still waiting a call for a job

Been a week in all

Every time my phone goes

I think it’s THE call

.

Still awaiting news for the car

Gonna cost a bomb

So much work to be done

Going on for so long

.

Tomorrow stressing me now

Judgement day

Will change all our lives

It is the only way

.

So I try to stay positive

Although lots of negative crap

Think about the future

Because we cannot go back

A good cry

Phil Lister2 Comments

I’m calling out for help

Friends, family

Begging almost

I don’t know how to get through

I feel it coming

Washing up

Tears trickle down my cheeks

Voice starts to go

End my call

I can understand

Bitter taste

Need to carry on

Then

It floods

Wailing like a child scorned

The only friend I have

That consoles me

The hypocrite

Is man’s best friend

That this bastard cannot keep

I’m just going to give her away

Because she’s too much….

.

In my time of need

She is there

I cry

I cry

I cry

Hysterically

Breakdown finally hits

Will I go on?

Have I got a choice?

Things look bad

They always do

Going through bad times?

Have a good cry

10 months

Phil Lister11 Comments

Our little baby girl

In your little baby world

10 months passed so quick

We don’t regret one bit

You allume our day with your smile

Your blue eyes gleaming all the while

Play with your toys make a mess

Say our names our little princess

Make us feel better with a little hug

Show mummy and daddy your baby love

A little one

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

What would we do for them?

With their continuing innocence

Their regard always sweet 

Always have their confidence

.

Sometimes shy not for long

Until they’ve assessed it all

That inquisitive behavior constantly

More than us even though they’re small

.

Testing all the time 

To try and make us scream

A reaction is all they need

Your cracking at the seams

.

Jealousy is interesting 

how they react

Another child comes along

Parents love still intact

.

A little cuddle here and there

So soft like it’s a dove

Their insecurities shining through

Cause they need to feel loved

Cry for help

Phil Lister2 Comments

I want to give everything

Take all I have, make it sting

Open me up read me like a book

Analyze me, take a thorough look

Cut me deep to make the crimson flood

Stem the bleeding it’s too much

Dont like what you hear, what you see

I’m just so messed up, sorry I am me!

Smear it all over, smile ear to ear

Chuckle devilishly, taunt and cheer

Having second thoughts, too late now

Such a coward, you don’t know how

Cry like a mess, feel sorry for yourself

What’s the matter, you been left on the shelf?

Take deep breaths can’t be long now

Escape from your hell, take a bow

Sorry call for help cause you call for no one

Of course not, otherwise where would be the fun?

In your twisted little mind fragile as it is

You think about yourself trying to do the biz

Think about the others all around you

What the hell are they going do do?

Do they deserve to lose you, really, no one cares?

Think about it beforehand instead of giving scares

Talk to someone, you must share, don’t be alone

For God sakes pick up the god damn phone!

Gently driving home

Phil Lister1 Comment

On way back home

2 days away

Christmas with loved ones

Surprises were at bay

.

Soon to return

To normality

En route in the car 

With coffee

.

Behind in the car

Looking all around

Seeing all these cars

With presents that surround

.

My baby in front seat

Trying to make me laugh

Mummy driving gently

As other cars go past

Peel back my skin

Phil Lister6 Comments

Disect me like a butterfly

Read me like a book

Take my final sting like i am a bee

As i gasp with my final breath i took

.

Passionate as the week is long

To never quit until the task is done

To improve with every mistake I make

To collapse from when all is won

.

To inhale madness like it’s oxygen

Filling entirely my lungs

To bounce off the walls 

Just to exercise some fun

.

You think you know me now

From observing afar

Peel back my skin look inside

And reopen my scar!

Christmas madness

Phil Lister2 Comments

Christmas madness in the shops

They’re all crazy, the whole lot

Where did they come from? All of them

I can’t get over it, it started when?

Get out of the way, move your ass

Bemused by this madness, lost any class

Everyone is stressed, in such a rush

It’s only Christmas, why so much fuss

Traffic on the road, people so mad

Impatient, all of them, reacting bad

Festive holidays are here for a while

People are amusingly forcing a smile

Until that final day it will all calm down

And hopefully there will be smiles all around
